Hello,
In GIO (GLib), the GFileMonitor[1] mechanism is using inotify for local
files. To detect file creation and some other weird cases, they monitor
the directory of the file and not the file directly (see
get_basename/get_dirname[2] usage).
With sysfs, it does not work as expected for some reason.
From a quick discussion of IRC with GLib folks, it appears that it
would be better fixed in sysfs directly.
Would such a patch be accepted and if so, could I have some hints to
where I should start hacking to fix that?
Thanks,
